The Kurdish people, or Kurds (Kurdish: کورد, Kurd), are an ethnic group in Middle East, mostly inhabiting a region known as Kurdistan, which includes adjacent parts of Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Turkey.
They are an Iranian people and speak the Kurdish languages, which are members of the Iranian branch of Indo-European languages.
The Kurds number about 30 million, the majority living in West Asia, with significant Kurdish diaspora communities in the cities of western Turkey, in Armenia, Georgia, Israel, Azerbaijan, Russia, Lebanon and, in recent decades, some European countries and the United States.
The Kurds have had partial autonomy in Iraqi Kurdistan since 1991. Nationalist movements in the other Kurdish-populated countries (Turkey, Syria, Iran) push for Kurdish regional autonomy or the creation of a sovereign state.
==================================
From Google:
Nearly three fifths of the Kurds, almost all Kurmanji-speakers, are today at least nominally Sunni Muslims of Shafiite rite. There are also some followers of mainstream Shiitem Islam among the Kurds, particularly in and around the cities of Kirmashan, to Hamadan and Bijar in southern and eastern Kurdistan and the Khurasan. These Shiite Kurds number around half a million.
THEIR loyalty SURE won't be to any "infidels" like us Christians. Why would it be?
The Kurds are ignored to appease Turkey in a desperate attempt to keep the soon-to-be radicalized Muslim nation in NATO. Things are getting very dicey as the hits keep coming faster and faster. The whole world is in upheaval, and many assumptions are coming unglued.
Revisiting Kurdistan: 'If there is a success story in Iraq, it's here'
If you want to know who the “good guys” are in the middle east, pay attention to the group to which obama extends help. The “good guy” are the other group.
Obama will always stand on the side of Satan.
Kurds may be the only friends that our Christian brothers and sisters in Iraq have.
